Betty Allie Trisch McCleskey's Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty Allie Trisch McCleskey, who left us on January 23, 2025, at the age of 78. Betty was born on August 27, 1946, in Michigan to parents Donald and Louella Trisch. She married Don on November 21, 1966, and they had four children: Ricky (Kelly) McCleskey, Ronny (Marney) McCleskey, Randy (Wendy) McCleskey, and Jennifer (D.J.) Duke. Betty was a loving wife and mother and retired with her husband Don to Newberry, Florida. Her retirement years were spent with her children and grandchildren, as well as volunteering her time hosting crafts for local senior citizens and with the children’s ministry at her church, Jonesville Baptist.
Betty leaves behind her children and their spouses; her grandchildren: Richard (Carmen) Turner, Micheal (Ligia) Turner, Vanessa Hollingsworth, Heather Detloff, Alec McCleskey, Ashli Van Horn, Maria Martinez, Ryan (Shawna) McCleskey, Zachary (Kaley) McCleskey, Trisch Ingersoll, Kieley Duke and Kearsten Duke; her great grandchildren: Iliyana Hudson, Elaina Hudson, Weston Williams, Scarlette Marks, Ephraim McCleskey, Ryder Williams, Daisy Marks, Kelly Turner, Richie Turner, Eve Detloff, Jacob Turner, Josephine McCleskey, Brayden McCleskey, and Knox Pace. She is also survived by her siblings: Donald Trisch, Loretta Earnest, Thomas Trisch, Toni Peterson, Kay Harris, Benjamin Trisch and Jerry Trisch. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don, and her sisters, Charlene Hurst and Rhonda Trisch.
Anyone who met Betty knows she was a feisty person and cared deeply about her family and friends. She was a beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She was always willing to help anyone in need and was a blessing to everyone who knew her. She had a nurturing presence that made her feel like a mother to all. Her generosity and compassion were boundless, and she created a sense of family among us all. While her passing was unexpected, her family takes peace in knowing that she is no longer suffering. Those she left behind will miss her more than words can describe. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Jonesville Baptist Church 17722 S.W 15 Ave Newberry, Florida 32669 with Pastor Corey Cheramie officiating.
